2 1/2 cups (320g) all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
10 tbsp unsalted butter, room temp
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (50g) vegetable or canola oil
1 large egg + 1 egg yolk, room temp
2 tsp vanilla extract


Vanilla Buttercream
3/4 cup (185g) unsalted butter, room temp
2–3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1–2 tbsp milk
Pink gel food coloring
Rainbow sprinkles
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour(320g), cornstarch(2 tbsp), baking soda(1 tsp), and salt(1/2).
In a large mixing bowl using a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter (10 tbsp) and sugar(200g) until light and fluffy (medium high speed for 2-3 minutes).
With the mixing running on medium-low speed, pour in the oil (1/4 cup) in a slow and steady stream.
Once combined, scrape down the bowl and mix in the eggs (1 whole, 1 yolk) one at a time.
Mix in the vanilla and scrape down the bowl again.
Dump in half of the dry ingredients and give it a light mix, then add in the rest and mix until just combined. Don’t over mix.
Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the bowl and ensure everything is evenly incorporated. The dough should be thick but tacky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
After 20-25 minutes, preheat the oven to 350F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the dough out of the refrigerator after the 30 minutes is up. Using a large 2oz cookie scoop (equal to about 1/4 cup), scoop out the cookies and roll into a ball. Place the ball onto the baking sheet and lightly flatten the top with your palm. Bake about 4-5 cookies at a time, covering and placing the dough back in the refrigerator between each batch.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are a very pale golden color.
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack and continue to bake the rest of the dough

Another hit. Ugly Kid Joe (who's that guy?) ruins 'Cat's the Cradle' every few days.

Today's ruining of a classic song comes from DHT. There good reason why you've never heard of her. Here she has taken a ballad from 1977 and 'improved' by adding a hot dance beat!

Covers: an Introduction

Working at Walgreens, I hear a lot of terrible covers of good songs every day. I've decided that in an effort to add come content to this blog, I will share these butcherings here as often as I can. Enjoy.

My first entry comes from singer/actress Mandy Moore. Know for being annoying and being in many of the past decades worst films, she decided to take stab at a song that is far to 'hip' for her. Enjoy her ruining of the rhyme scheme to Umbrella.

3 months

It's been almost three months

I'm still still dishing out drugs at a ridiculous rate and I am a full time student at Kellogg Community College. My life is obviously really busy lately.

The main purpose of this post to to say that Carrie and I have been looking into buying a house. Looking into meaning we've seen about 25 houses so far and we put our first offer in on a place last week. It's exciting and frightening and all that. Imagine, very soon I could be a homeowner! I've been dwelling with parents of some kind for all but 4 months of the last 5 years.

Give us a cheer. This post is sponsored by procrastination.

Hey, all (by that I mean Walter...in 2 or 3 months). I haven't written in quite a bit. I'm working now. Walgreens is my new home. I'm pumping out drugs at a mind-melting speed each day.

BCpedia is all but dead. Curiousity was raised, but not too seriously and I didn't have the motivation to put 5-8 hours a day into a site that no one was visiting. Maybe again in the future. Probably not.

I'm going to school again in the fall. I'm officially register and have financial aid all set up and all those ducks and such. It's really happening this time!

That's it for now. Good day.

Swapping your blood

So, you know how when someone dies and they get embalmed, their faces get all swelled and they don't look right? I feel that living people are starting are rock this look. Look at Joan Rivers. She could lay down in a casket and would totally look like she was pumped full of formaldehyde.
